Great grappling club
Imperial offers knowledgeable instructors, fosters a supportive community among its members, and is a great place for both fitness and fun. I highly recommend Imperial to both beginners and experienced individuals seeking a new training environment.
We have trained here for the past 7 years and I can’t fault it. The coaches are very welcoming and have a world of knowledge. The kids have lots of fun while learning heaps. As a parent it’s great to see my kids confidence grow while learning life skills. The adult classes are great fun and accommodating for all abilities.
Amazing club, friendly coaches, well priced, fun place to train and socialize. Kids classes are enaging and well structured.
I came to Imperial in 2020 and have trained here ever since! Very friendly club with decades of grappling experience at the helm. Huge emphasis on culture and being a good training partner, clean facility, excellent standard of Jiu Jitsu instruction available. The club caters for hobbyist and competitive grapplers alike, and has a great mixture of ages and ability levels. You’ll find young, competition focused grapplers capable of contorting you in ways you didn’t think were possible, right through to the older crew looking to have fun, learn some skills, and stay fit. Could not recommend enough.
I visited my wife's cousin in 2018. At the time I was a purple belt and as one knows you have to find a place to train wherever you go at the detriment of anyone else on vacation. I found Cleve after visiting two other gyms in Joondalup. Excellent group, exactly the vibe I want to find in a gym. Friendly, accommodating, and skilled. They took me in as one of their own and I even got to go with them to a grading at the larger affiliate in Perth. I can't recommend BJJ enough for anyone and if you're thinking about choosing a gym close by this should be the one.
Awesome place, highly recommend the wrestling classes for strength and conditioning...
Cleve, his team of experienced coaches and all members have made me feel welcome since day one! The gym has a great atmosphere and everyone is looking to help each other improve. BJJ isn’t for everyone, but I recommend everyone give it a try no matter what your age, size or gender! Thanks Cleve and coaches!
Great coach's reasonably priced my daughter has learnt alot
I can’t recommend this place enough if you are looking to learn a lot from a very friendly group of people :)
My son has been training here with Cleve for just over a year now. His progress in BJJ has been remarkable and the discupline and hard work has flowed into many other aspects of his life. This year he even attended his first comp, which he wants to do again. If you want relearn BJJ in the Clarkson area - Imperial BJJ is the only choice.
The whole time being there is an absolute delight, the staff are very nice and responsible and you always can rely on them. i highly recommend going there or at least try it out!

Great grappling club
Who trains here
Six groups, one club
Every group has its own class, its own pace and its own grading ladder. Find the one that fits and start there.
4 to 6 years
Little Jits
Half an hour, high energy, no pressure. Balance, listening, taking turns and the first few positions. Most of them think it is a game, which is the point.
See this class7 to 12 years
Junior Jits
Where the grappling gets real. Proper technique, live drilling against a resisting partner, and a grading ladder they can actually see themselves climbing.
See this class13 to 16 years
Teens
Their own class, their own room, no adults watching. Hard training, quiet confidence, and a group of people who turn up for each other.
See this class16 and over
Adults Gi BJJ
Beginners and advanced train in the same room, at the right intensity for each. Start with zero experience and you will still be shown exactly what to do.
See this class16 and over
No Gi
Shorts and a rash guard, no jacket to grip. Faster, sweatier, and the closest thing to how grappling works when nobody is wearing a uniform.
See this classAll levels
Freestyle Wrestling
Taught by a former Great Britain wrestler, which almost no jiu jitsu gym in Perth can say. Takedowns, scrambles, and the engine to go with them.

Belt colours run through this whole site. Wherever you see a coloured spine, that is the grade the class sits at.
Kids, teens and coaches under the club banner
Adam Toole, head coach
Meet Adam
Twenty seven years on the mats
Not a hobbyist who opened a gym. A career athlete and coach who happens to own one.
Adam Toole is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Cleve Williams. He grew up in Manchester and started freestyle wrestling at eight years old, went on to become a UK national champion, and represented Great Britain internationally on numerous occasions.
He has been training and competing in jiu jitsu since 2012 and coaching wrestling since 1998, with podiums and wins at PanPacs and multiple state titles along the way. That wrestling background is why this club takes takedowns seriously when a lot of jiu jitsu gyms quietly skip them.
Imperial was founded in September 2015 by Cleve Williams. Adam owns and runs it now, and he is the one on the mats coaching, not a name on a wall.
